Once upon a time I suffered from severe OCD. I fully justified all of my code comments in C to 80 columns by word choice. No extra spaces. No random hyphenation.

You feel pain while you're doing it, but you can't stop.

I'm glad therapy helped me.



I don't think I have ocd but this is something that I do without thought. Usually, I'll catch myself after a minute or two. But if a paragraph is almost there, it becomes difficult to work with that paragraph on-screen until I scratch the itch.
